wherein the groups R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , m and Y m−  may have the meanings given in the claims and specification, processes for preparing them and their use as medicaments, particularly as medicaments for the treatment of respiratory complaints.

This application claims priority benefit from EP 06 119 273.8, filed Aug. 22, 2006, which is incorporated herein in its entirety.

The present invention relates to enantiomerically pure compounds of formula 1

wherein the groups R¹, R², R³, m and Y^(m−) may have the meanings given in the claims and specification, processes for preparing them and their use as medicaments, particularly as medicaments for the treatment of respiratory complaints.

BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION

Betamimetics (β-adrenergic substances) are known from the prior art. In this respect reference may be made for example to the disclosure of U.S. Pat. No. 4,341,778 which proposes betamimetics for the treatment of a wide range of ailments.

For drug treatment of diseases it is often desirable to prepare medicaments with a longer duration of activity. As a rule, this ensures that the concentration of the active substance in the body needed to achieve the therapeutic effect is maintained for a longer period without the need to re-administer the drug at frequent intervals. Moreover, giving an active substance at longer time intervals contributes to the well-being of the patient to a high degree.

It is particularly desirable to prepare a pharmaceutical composition which can be used therapeutically by administration once a day (single dose). The use of a drug once a day has the advantage that the patient can become accustomed relatively quickly to regularly taking the drug at certain times of the day.

The aim of the present invention is therefore to provide betamimetics which on the one hand provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of respiratory complaints and are also characterised by a longer duration of activity and can thus be used to prepare pharmaceutical compositions with a longer duration of activity. A particular aim of the invention is to prepare betamimetics which, by virtue of their long-lasting effect, can be used to prepare a drug for the treatment of asthma for administration once a day. In addition to these aims, a further objective of the invention is to provide such betamimetics which are not only exceptionally potent but are also characterised by a high degree of selectivity with respect to the β₂-adreno-receptor. A further aim of the present invention is to provide betamimetics which by virtue of their physicochemical properties can be used especially for the preparation of pharmaceutical formulations that are particularly suitable for use by inhalation. In particular, the present invention sets out to provide betamimetics which in addition to having the above-mentioned properties are also particularly suitable for the production of inhalable powders and suspension aerosols.

Synthesis of Salts

The compounds of formula 1 may generally be prepared using the following method.

a) hydrobromide: 1.02 mmol of the free base of the compound of formula 1 are suspended in 3 mL acetone and combined with 170 μL (1.01 mmol) 48% hydrobromic acid in 1 mL acetone. Sufficient diethyl ether is added to the resulting solution to cause a yellow oil to be precipitated. The oil is separated off, dissolved in 2 mL acetone, diluted with a little ethyl acetate and mixed with a crystallisation aid. The salt precipitated is filtered off and washed with ethyl acetate and diethyl ether. The solid is then recrystallised from acetonitrile. Yield: approx. 75%, melting point: 145±5° C.

b) hydrochloride: 2.05 mmol of the free base of the compound of formula 1 are suspended in 7 mL acetone and combined with 506 μl (2.02 mmol) 4 molar hydrochloric acid in 550 μl acetone, whereupon a clear solution is formed. After the addition of a crystallisation aid a total of 7 mL diethyl ether are added dropwise. The precipitated solid is separated off after 3 hours, washed with diethyl ether and dried at 40° C. Then the solid is recrystallised from acetonitrile with the addition of a few drops of water, filtered and again washed with diethyl ether. Yield: 46%, melting point: 162±3° C.

c) hydrochloride: 1.92 mmol of the free base of the compound of formula 1 are suspended in 7 mL acetone and combined with 200 μl (1.76 mmol) 32% hydrochloric acid in 1 mL acetone. A clear solution is formed, from which a solid is precipitated after the addition of a crystallisation aid. The solution is diluted with diethyl ether and filtered.

FORMULATIONS

Suitable formulations for administering the compounds of formula 1 include for example tablets, capsules, suppositories, solutions, powders etc. The content of the pharmaceutically active compound(s) should be in the range from 0.05 to 90 wt.-%, preferably 0.1 to 50 wt.-% of the composition as a whole. Suitable tablets may be obtained, for example, by mixing the active substance(s) with known excipients, for example inert diluents such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or lactose, disintegrants such as corn starch or alginic acid, binders such as starch or gelatine, lubricants such as magnesium stearate or talc and/or agents for delaying release, such as carboxymethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate phthalate, or polyvinyl acetate. The tablets may also comprise several layers.

Coated tablets may be prepared accordingly by coating cores produced analogously to the tablets with substances normally used for tablet coatings, for example collidone or shellac, gum arabic, talc, titanium dioxide or sugar. To achieve delayed release or prevent incompatibilities the core may also consist of a number of layers. Similarly the tablet coating may consist of a number of layers to achieve delayed release, possibly using the excipients mentioned above for the tablets.

Syrups containing the active substances or combinations thereof according to the invention may additionally contain a sweetener such as saccharine, cyclamate, glycerol or sugar and a flavour enhancer, e.g. a flavouring such as vanilline or orange extract. They may also contain suspension adjuvants or thickeners such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, wetting agents such as, for example, condensation products of fatty alcohols with ethylene oxide, or preservatives such as p-hydroxybenzoates.

Solutions are prepared in the usual way, e.g. with the addition of isotonic agents, preservatives such as p-hydroxybenzoates or stabilisers such as alkali metal salts of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, optionally using emulsifiers and/or dispersants, while if water is used as diluent, for example, organic solvents may optionally be used as solubilisers or dissolving aids, and the solutions may be transferred into injection vials or ampoules or infusion bottles.

Capsules containing the compounds of formula 1 according to the invention may for example be prepared by mixing the active substances with inert carriers such as lactose or sorbitol and packing them into gelatine capsules. Suitable suppositories may be made for example by mixing with carriers provided for this purpose, such as neutral fats or polyethyleneglycol or the derivatives thereof. Excipients which may be used include, for example, water, pharmaceutically acceptable organic solvents such as paraffins (e.g. petroleum fractions), vegetable oils (e.g. groundnut or sesame oil), mono- or polyfunctional alcohols (e.g. ethanol or glycerol), carriers such as e.g. natural mineral powders (e.g. kaolins, clays, talc, chalk), synthetic mineral powders (e.g. highly dispersed silicic acid and silicates), sugars (e.g. cane sugar, lactose and glucose), emulsifiers (e.g. lignin, spent sulphite liquors, methylcellulose, starch and polyvinylpyrrolidone) and lubricants (e.g. magnesium stearate, talc, stearic acid and sodium lauryl sulphate).

For oral use the tablets may obviously contain, in addition to the carriers specified, additives such as sodium citrate, calcium carbonate and dicalcium phosphate together with various additional substances such as starch, preferably potato starch, gelatine and the like. Lubricants such as magnesium stearate, sodium laurylsulphate and talc may also be used to produce the tablets. In the case of aqueous suspensions the active substances may be combined with various flavour enhancers or colourings in addition to the abovementioned excipients.

In the preferred use of the compounds of formula 1 for the treatment of respiratory complaints it is particularly preferred according to the invention to use preparations or pharmaceutical formulations which can be administered by inhalation. Inhalable preparations include inhalable powders, propellant-containing metered-dose aerosols or propellant-free inhalable solutions. Within the scope of the present invention, the term propellant-free inhalable solutions also includes concentrates or sterile ready-to-use inhalable solutions.

The compounds of formula 1 which are particularly preferably used in crystalline form according to the invention are preferably used to prepare powders for inhalation. The inhalable powders which may be used according to the invention may contain the crystalline compounds of formula 1 either on their own or in admixture with suitable physiologically acceptable excipients.

If the active substances are present in admixture with physiologically acceptable excipients, the following physiologically acceptable excipients may be used to prepare these inhalable powders according to the invention: monosaccharides (e.g. glucose or arabinose), disaccharides (e.g. lactose, saccharose, maltose), oligo- and polysaccharides (e.g. dextrans), polyalcohols (e.g. sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol), salts (e.g. sodium chloride, calcium carbonate) or mixtures of these excipients. Preferably, mono- or disaccharides are used, while the use of lactose or glucose is preferred, particularly, but not exclusively, in the form of their hydrates. For the purposes of the invention, lactose is the particularly preferred excipient, while lactose monohydrate is most particularly preferred.

Within the scope of the inhalable powders according to the invention the excipients have a maximum average particle size of up to 250 μm, preferably between 10 and 150 μm, most preferably between 15 and 80 μm. In some cases it may seem appropriate to add finer excipient fractions with an average particle size of 1 to 9 μm to the excipients mentioned above. These finer excipients are also selected from the group of possible excipients listed hereinbefore. Finally, in order to prepare the inhalable powders according to the invention, micronised active substance, preferably with an average particle size of 0.5 to 10 μm, more preferably from 1 to 5 μm, is added to the excipient mixture. Processes for producing the inhalable powders according to the invention by grinding and micronising and finally mixing the ingredients together are known from the prior art.

The inhalable powders according to the invention may be administered using inhalers known from the prior art.

The inhalation aerosols containing propellant gas according to the invention may contain the active substance dissolved in the propellant gas or in dispersed form. The propellant gases which may be used to prepare the inhalation aerosols are known from the prior art. Suitable propellant gases are selected from among hydrocarbons such as n-propane, n-butane or isobutane and halohydrocarbons such as fluorinated derivatives of methane, ethane, propane, butane, cyclopropane or cyclobutane. The above-mentioned propellant gases may be used on their own or in admixture. Particularly preferred propellant gases are halogenated alkane derivatives selected from TG134a and TG227 and mixtures thereof.

The propellant-driven inhalation aerosols may also contain other ingredients such as co-solvents, stabilisers, surfactants, antioxidants, lubricants and pH adjusters. All these ingredients are known in the art.

The propellant-driven inhalation aerosols mentioned above may be administered using inhalers known in the art (MDIs=metered dose inhalers).

The dosage of the compounds according to the invention is naturally highly dependent on the method of administration and the complaint which is being treated. When administered by inhalation the compounds of the formula are characterised by a high potency even at doses in the μg range. The compounds of the formula may also be used effectively above the μg range. The dosage may then be in the milligram range, for example.

In another aspect the present invention relates to the above-mentioned pharmaceutical formulations as such, which are characterised in that they contain a compound of formula 1, particularly preferably the above-mentioned pharmaceutical formulations administered by inhalation.

The following examples of formulations illustrate the present invention without restricting its scope:
